Upcoming Days of Appreciation

I have a confession to make...I don't like Valentine's Day! Yep, it's true. I decorate our office because our patients like to see festive decorations but I just don't get into it. I'll make a few pink snacks but you won't see too much about the holiday on either of my blogs.

On to the Days of Appreciation...There are SO many special days out there to appreciate people in your life. Even if they are made up holidays or just a random day to say "Thank You" just because, you have to start somewhere.

I was making a point but I almost forgot...Grow something or create something and make someone's day! I started by planting Basil seeds in Peat Pellets.

Once those seeds grow into tiny plants I'll transplant them into a small decorated container and give someone a Gift that Keeps on Giving! Before I give the gift, I'll attach a recipe card for my favorite Homemade Pesto. Yum!

About Me

You may have noticed that the price on food, especially produce has been going up.The quality, not to mention the nutritional value, has been suffering for quite a while.
Heirloom seeds or seeds that have been passed down for generations are
far hardier and as some studies suggest, have more nutritional value
than genetically modified (GMO) seeds.I don't sell
anything that I wouldn't grow in my own garden. All of the seeds
listed are un-treated, non-hybrid, open-pollinated, non-gmo, heirloom
seeds. Plants are grown using no chemicals.

Anyway, I
have been growing my own vegetables and besides the money they save me
the flavor is WAY better than the vegetables available at the
supermarket.It also makes me feel less dependent on the supply and I know what goes on my veggies.I
put together a few packages of seeds that seem to belong together and
the individual seeds are available also. Food prices are not going down
and growing your own food, especially heirloom veggies, is a great way
to save money and get more nutrition for your dollar. Happy planting,Mary
